Framing

Our frames are produced from the best quality wood, primarily
from Italy. Each is custom cut and assembled by hand to fit your art.
Hanging hardware included!

THIN GALLERY FRAME

This modern profile was designed for artists and photographers.
Narrow on the front and deep on the sides, our slim mouldings provide
a clean, sharp frame for your art, and allows all focus to be on your
gorgeous work.

3/4" wide; 1 1/8" deep

UV - PROTECTIVE ACRYLIC

Our acrylic is more expensive than glass, but we use it because it’s
clearer, far more impact resistant, and protects your art against UV rays.
Framing-grade acrylic has become a new standard in framing because of
its “clear” benefits.

THE FULL BLEED

Works are framed flush with the edge of your print without a mat.
Request border modifications and spacers, which keep the work from
touching the glass.

THE MAT

Adds a white core mat with a bevel cut opening to the edge of your
print. If your work has a signature or edition numbering, we will
automatically mat around it unless otherwise specified.

THE FLOAT

Floating a piece allows for a full view of the face and sides of the
artwork. Floating is recommended for original drawings and paintings
or any piece produced on specially trimmed paper.

“Recognizing how I intuitively curate my space, I am learning how to see, which ultimately helps me notice the interactions around me that eventually become a painting.”

Valdez is currently working on various narratives that explore her own traditions and history through a visual format.

About Anna Valdez

Anna Valdez is a visual artist based in San Francisco, CA. With an academic background in anthropology and video, Valdez views artists as cultural producers. In her work, she attempts to combine these practices into a specific investigation that cultivates not only personal identity, but also cultural meaning. Her narrative driven process has led her to rely on photographs, stories, family recipes, horticulture, and the tradition of crafting as something concrete in order to construct her autobiography. She considers this examination to be a rite of passage into a globalized society, while simultaneously finding her niche within. Valdez received her MFA in painting from Boston University in 2013 and her work has been exhibited in museums and galleries across the United States.

CV

“Recently, many of my pieces have been still lifes. These arrangements have been composed from various household items such as my clothes, quilts, scarves, blankets, houseplants, drawings, paintings, books, records, and vessels. These items exist as a part of my domestic environment, and I have put them in my paintings to understand the domestic sphere as emblematic of both personal and collective experience.”
